Now 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: here's your host, Jen Mueller. 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: We are broadcasting from the Seahawks Podcast Studio presented by Sony, 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: an official partner of the Seattle Seahawks. 16 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: Jen Mueller and John Boyle with you. 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: And if it sounds like there's a little extra excitement 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: in my voice, John, there most certainly is we. 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: Can plan our falls. 20 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 3: We can plan our falls. 21 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: I have to say that when it comes to NFL 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: dates on the calendar, my favorite one by far is 23 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: Week one. You're standing on the sidelines like national anthem plays. 24 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: That's my favorite day of the football season. 25 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, a very very close second they released the schedule. 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: Yes, we have known for a long time who the 27 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: opponents are, but you always want to know how it's 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: going to stand. 29 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: Up, where you're going to be win who you know, 30 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: what are the matchups certain weeks. 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: When do I get a bye week? When do we 32 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: play on Thursday? You know, very important things exactly. And 33 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: what were your initial reactions when. 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: You saw the release? 35 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, big picture, I like it is just like 36 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: it feels like a very fair and like pretty even 37 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: schedule where you don't you know, some years you get 38 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: that brutal stretch of like, you know, three tough division 39 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: games on the road in a five week span, or 40 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: you play three teams coming off their bye week, or 41 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, last year we have the Monday Sunday Thursday, 42 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: which was pretty tough on guys. There's really none of that. 43 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: This year. It's you know, yeah, you have a couple 44 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: of stretches with back to back road games late in 45 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: the year, but overall it feels pretty balanced and there's 46 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: there's not a lot to complain about. 47 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can find things to go and if 48 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: we really wanted to, but balanced was absolute. 49 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: A preseason game. We can complain about that, but is. 50 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: A little tricky. That's a little tricky humid. I know, 51 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: I would love that, but that's okay, that's that's okay. 52 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: It's Green Bay is a legacy city as I think 53 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: about it. 54 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: Right, great place to visit, and it is the history 55 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: all that. I just I will be. 56 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: Saving up for beer and cheese. It's fine. I know 57 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: how to plan. That does as one does. 58 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 2: Overall, big picture for this schedule, as John mentioned, it 59 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: is really balanced. This is one of the years though 60 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: that the Seahawks are going to play nine road games 61 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: eight at home, so that's a little bit different. The 62 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: bye week falling right in the middle of the season. 63 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: It's week eight, so again to your point, perfect and 64 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: as it stands right now, you've got a Thursday night 65 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: game in week four. You have a Thursday night game 66 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: on the schedule late in December, so you get those 67 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: little mini buyes. I know the guys don't really call 68 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: it that because it is brutal on your body going in, 69 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: but you've got a nice little break built in at 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: the beginning of the season and towards the end of 71 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: the season on that win. And I kind of like 72 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: the symmetry of having San Francisco at book beginning. 73 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: At the end, I do kind of a good test 74 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: for both teams, like where are we in week one 75 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and where are we seventeen weeks later? 76 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: Well, and it's the interesting conversation with San Francisco based 77 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: on strength of schedule from opponents last year, supposedly the 78 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: forty nine ers have the easiest schedule of any team 79 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: in the ENNA, and. 80 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: Part of that is them finishing it in last place, 81 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: so those like opponent games, they get what you know, 82 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: you would call last place schedule. So some of the 83 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: easier ones, but as we know, playing the whole last 84 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: year's results game, it doesn't work because someone on this schedule, 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: where we can look at somebody's late season games like oh, 86 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Colts, the Panthers, these teams weren't good 87 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: less like somebody I promise you in those last few 88 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: weeks that we're looking at. Doesn't seem like a good 89 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: team is going to be a playoff contender, and somebody 90 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: that we think is really good probably won't be. That's 91 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: just the nature of the NFL. There's a lot of 92 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: swings from year to year, So trying to base it 93 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: based off what we saw a year ago is always 94 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: kind of a cools errand. 95 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: Yes, and so much is going to happen during the 96 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: course of the season. 97 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking back to Week one last year, 98 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: and you never want to put too much emphasis on 99 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: week one, right because there's a lot of things that 100 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: could happen. I do feel like there will be a 101 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: little bit more pressure week one coming out of the 102 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: gates with a division opponent. But last year, remember it 103 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: was Denver and you're like, oh, man, I don't know, 104 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: it was a new quarterback. I don't know how that's 105 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: going to play out. Turns out you hit Denver at 106 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: the right time of the year because they got pretty. 107 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: Hot there in the middle. 108 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: They made the playoffs. 109 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: And yeah, now that game did not turn out to 110 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: right sink you in a division race. It was nice 111 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: that you get the win, but also like that one 112 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: Week one against San fran you're gonna need to You're 113 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: gonna need to jump on that pretty quickly. 114 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't like to call any game 115 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: like must win because you lose that one and you 116 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: want a whole bunch of other ones and nobody cares. 117 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: But anytime it's a division game, yeah, that's got that 118 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: little extra meaning because it's not just you know, if 119 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: you lose that game, it's not as you lost it. 120 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: It's a division opponent got to win on you. So yeah, 121 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: it's a it's going to be a really exciting start. 122 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco's obviously team that feels like what they did 123 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: last year is not reflective of who they are as 124 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: a team, and they want to come out and show 125 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: that they're back. And the Seahawks want to come out 126 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: and show that they're building off a strong finish to 127 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and even better than they were last 128 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: year when they won ten games. 129 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: So, without going too much further in that division conversation, 130 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: so at San Francisco, it's Arizona. Those are the two 131 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: division opponents before the bye week. Let's just take a 132 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: look at the schedule overall right now, as it stands, 133 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: four primetime games for the Seahawks, two one Thursday night, 134 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: one Monday Night football, one Sunday Night football. 135 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 3: With a huge caveat. There's a lot of asterisks on this. 136 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: I've just got my ship that week five on that's wild. 137 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: That is crazy. That is crazy. 138 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: And so for as much as I think I know 139 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: what the schedule in the ball list we actually have. 140 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: We don't know what happened in week seventeen or eighteen. 141 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: So no, no, we do know that you're going to 142 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: finish on the road with two road games. One of 143 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: those another cross country road trip. 144 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: You know, would Seymour daunting if not for the fact 145 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: that this team went seven and one on the road 146 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: last year. And you think going east ten AM, I mean, 147 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: you've been around this team long enough to know that 148 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: was just the death now. I mean for years it was, 149 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, four ten AM games, you might win one 150 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: of them, and now you know, going back really to 151 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: like twenty thirteen, that's not been a problem for this team. 152 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: They've got five on the schedule right now. That Carolina 153 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: game that's EBD very well could be a ten AM game. 154 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: Six have won nineteen of their last twenty four games 155 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: in that time slot, going back to twenty eighteen, So 156 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: it's not last year. That's not a problem for this 157 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: team anymore. Gonie playing early. 158 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: Talk about going east, we are doing that a lot. 159 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: I mean that was my initial reaction. 160 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm kind of looking at it and I knew who 161 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: the opponents were, right, but you kind of forget about 162 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: it right, you see it, and then you start mapping 163 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: this out and I'm like, oh my gosh, how much 164 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: time are we spending on a plane? 165 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: I can tell you, John, how many miles jen. 166 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: Thirty one, three hundred and two miles. 167 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: It seems like a lot. 168 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: It seems like a lot. In fact, it is third 169 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: most in the NFL. Yes, the only two teams who 170 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: have more miles that they will travel are the Rams 171 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: and the Chargers. 172 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: And they both play internationally. That's right, ended up going 173 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: to London or Germany or anywhere else this year, Dublin. 174 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: They they'd be leading the way in miles. Again. Yes, 175 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: it's what we get where we live. We're kind of 176 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: isolated up here in what Matt Hasselback used to call 177 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: South Alaska. 178 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: That is true, and we have figured out how to 179 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: make this work in the Seahawks favor. As you pointed out, 180 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: I'm looking at some of these opponents outside of the 181 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: division that are going to be a nice little reunion 182 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: I think, or maybe kind of like and maybe it's 183 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: not a reunion. 184 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: Maybe it's just kind of like fans like to revenge. 185 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: But like Tyler Lockett's one of those, he can't there's 186 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's too nice to have a revenge. 187 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: But yeah, Bobby Wagner might have a game, and not 188 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: because he doesn't love Seattle, but that's the way he's wired. 189 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean that that game he played for the Rams 190 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: against that was the best game you played all year. 191 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you get Bobby Wagner, you get 192 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf in week two, you got hy to Lockett. 193 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: When you go to Tennessee late in the season, you 194 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: will see who am I forgetting Well, Cooper Cup and 195 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: Sam Donald will see their former teams this year, so 196 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: it kind of goes both ways. A lot of a 197 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: lot of fun reunion games. 198 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: I kind of like it. 199 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got Tennessee November twenty third, then it's back 200 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: home Minnesota. I really hope that Sam Darnald just challenges challenges, Nope, channels. 201 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: There we go. 202 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: That's what I was looking for all season long at Lumenfield. 203 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 2: What he did last week last year when the Vikings 204 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: came to town. Yeah, that would be game all year long, 205 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: and your last division opponent game it is San Francisco. 206 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: But also you're going to play the Rams at home 207 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: Thursday night late December. 208 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: Yeah that I mean any again going back to the 209 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: conversation of every division game really counts, but a primetime 210 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: game Week sixteen against the team that won the division 211 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: last year, and you know, should very much be in 212 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: the conversation this year. That feels like one that you 213 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: can look ahead now and know is going to be 214 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: big well and. 215 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: For somebody who's going to stand on the sidelines in 216 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: those games, whether could definitely be a factor December eighteenth 217 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: in that primetime game. Weather could also be a factor 218 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 2: in San Francisco, the final game of the season. Outside 219 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: of that, you shouldn't have too many weather concerns Tennessee outdoors. 220 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: That could be something interesting late November, but I don't 221 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: really think Carolina could be cold. But you're not really 222 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: looking at extreme weather like having some of those other 223 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: ones in your this right now is. 224 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: The difference between someone who covers the game on the 225 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: sideline and in the press box. I'm like, oh, yeah, 226 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought of that. 227 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: No, I'm always looking to see where are we when it. 228 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: Is going to be cold out Truly, you asked players 229 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: what they look at. It's like you want to know 230 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: if you have Green Bay, Chicago or whatever on your schedule. 231 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: You're like, okay, when is that game? Es you hope 232 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: it's not in December? 233 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: Yes, And you know which ones will really trip you up, 234 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, because you'll look at those and 235 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: be like, oh, it's fine, it might be a little 236 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: bit cloudy, it might be a little rainy. 237 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: Two of the coldest games I've. 238 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Ever stood a jackson name in twenty was that twenty sixteen. 239 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: Awful de ice the plane when we left Yeah. 240 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, or and to wait for the DCE get that 241 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: was a whole big story. So overall, we feel like 242 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: this is a pretty balanced schedule. 243 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I just don't think, you know, there's there's 244 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: not a lot to complain about. You only catch one 245 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: team coming off there bye, that's the Houston Monday night game. 246 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: And even that, okay, they're come off their bye, but 247 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: with a Monday game, you still get one extra day rest. 248 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: So there's just there's you know, mid season by Like 249 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: we said, you know, there's not really a lot to 250 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: look at and say, oh, the league really hurts you 251 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: with that schedule. 252 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting about that Houston game? 253 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: Seven pm? 254 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 3: It's seven pm. 255 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 256 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: I had to do a double take when I read that. 257 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: So it's the game of a doubleheader. 258 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: It is the latest game played in franchise history, which 259 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: surprises me a little bit. I'm used to seven o'clock 260 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: baseball games. But you're right, NFL games here just don't 261 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: start at seven o'clock because your viewership will have to 262 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: stay up on the East Coast until midnight. 263 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Yeah right, you figured that it's probably a competitive advantage 264 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks because your opponents, for their body clock, 265 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: that game's kicking off at nine pm. So you know, 266 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: it might help you a little bit, it could. 267 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: It might help me get a little extra sleep ahead 268 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: of that one. I don't know. 269 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: Hey, if you were planning to go to any of 270 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 2: the Seahawks games home or away, you know what you 271 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: might need. You might need some noise canceling headphones, especially 272 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: in some of those stadiums. 273 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 3: I'm thinking the rams they really crank up going. They 274 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: got a lot going on. 275 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: There's a lot going on, which is why this NFL 276 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: season feel every play, every hit, every moment with the 277 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: Sony one thousand XM five noise canceling headphones, the official 278 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 2: headphones of the Seattle Seahawks with premium noise cancelation. You 279 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: are in the zone, no distractions, just or football. Whether 280 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: you were in your living room or on the go, 281 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: you will never miss a beat with Sony headphones. You 282 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: know what I would like to use the Sony headphones 283 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: for right now?

To be quite honest with you, John, I mean like, well, 294 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: there's a large segment of our listening audience, but one of. 295 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: Never Fatto's beautiful circular sync that you stepped on a 296 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: foot pedal to make go that.

Yeah, it's almost like describing what 311 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: a record player was. 312 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: Phone to attached to the wall. They're young enough. I 313 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to drive. I think about that. 314 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: We're getting off topic here. Their cars might just all 315 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: drive themselves by the time they're also, that could have 316 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: gone a couple of different ways. You're right, they might 317 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: not ever drive. I mean I feel like we're heading 318 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: that direction. I'm going to make them drive. We have 319 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: an old stick shift. 320 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to make them see that's another that's a 321 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: life skill. Yes, that is a life skill. So we 322 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 2: know where we're heading the season, and we know that 323 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: we are celebrating fifty seasons of the Seahawks. 324 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: I am not at all going to try to predict outcomes. 325 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: Come on, let's do I am not doing. 326 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 2: We don't even know who the quarterback is going to 327 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: be for Week two for the Steelers. 328 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: That's a good point. 329 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: That is going to throw off my estimation quite a bit. 330 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: And then I'm going to be off track. What I'm 331 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: going to ask is, do you have a favorite place 332 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: that we are traveling to? 333 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: There we go, shout out to Delta.
